How to choose the best affiliate programs and monetize your website or blog to the fullest. Make money blogging by using successful affiliate programs, these are some tips and advice when choosing your affiliate money maker!
When choosing to place advertisements on your website there
are a few decisions you have to make.
First you will need to select a company which you would like
to become an affiliate for. Second you
will want to select banners or text link ads that you think will match well
with your content, and finally you need to strategically place the ads so they
get noticed by visitors but are not intrusive to your content.
Top 4 Affiliate Programs
- ShareASale – Probably the most underrated affiliate
program on the internet. I earn NO LESS than $100 a month from ShareASale. SAS
offer thousands of different affiliate programs, all with high quality banners,
link advertisements and more. You get $2 for every person you get to sign up
with SAS. Sign Up Here
- LinkShare – I love Linkshare. The program is just like
ShareASale. LinkShare provides you with about a thousand different affiliate
programs that you can use to generate income online without ever investing a
penny. Even if you never want to use any of the LinkShare affiliate programs,
you can still refer people to Linkshare and get $1.50 per referral. Sign up here
- Max Bounty – The cool thing about MAX Bounty is that there’s two ways to earn revenue by displaying
advertisements. First, for the majority of programs you get paid per click,
just like with Google Adsense. However, MB pays much better. You can expect to
make between .10 - .85 cents PER CLICK! But what I really like about MB is that
you also get paid per “lead”. A lead consists of someone clicking on the
advertisement banner and then signing up for whatever is being sold.
- Club Mom – I love Club Mom and I have made so much money
off of them. Club Mom is an exceptionally high quality website designed for
mother, expecting mothers and those curious about motherhood. They have the
best (truly the best) articles on everything relating to parenting. I, myself,
actually use this site on a regular basis to get all kinds of ideas for my
children like meals, craft projects and more. In addition you can get some
great, honest advice and information from doctors about different medical
conditions, illnesses and more. So as you can imagine, it’s pretty darn easy to
get people to sign up for Club Mom.
Club Mom gives you $1 for every single referral, then once
you get a certain amount of referrals they actually give you a raise to $2 a
referral!
If you want to be a Club Mom affiliate you can sign
up here . Once you sign up you can sign up for the affiliate part!
Tips for Making the Most of Affiliate Programs:
- Pick advertisements that fit into your content. For
example, if your site is about Celebrity Gossip, then pick out banners for free
magazine trials or for fashion, such as “Win a Gucci Handbag”. If your site
deals with technology then insert banner codes that focus on Ipods, Lap Tops,
PC Programs, etc.
- Take advantage of advertising in your articles! Place a
banner at the end or near the end of each article you write! Remember, some
visitors won’t browse your site or even look at your home page, so why not
increase your odds?
- Write about a particular advertisement you like. Go
through the list of potential banners, there’s a few hundred so it won’t be
hard to find something that sparks your interest. If your article focuses on
the link you want clicked and the lead you want singed up for you won’t have
any problem generating income!
